Lab speed against real users

Largest Contentful Paint measured two ways: one throttled lab run, against 28 days of real Chrome users.

Lab (Lighthouse, mobile)	14.6s	one throttled load on a datacentre machine
Field (real users)	1.4s	75th percentile of actual Chrome visitors over 28 days

The lab figure is 10.2× the real-user figure. Both agree the site is performing acceptably for real visitors.
